Innovation in the Pharmaceutical Industry: The Process of Drug Discovery and Development
By Takuji Hara
Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
Number Of Pages: 288
Publication Date: 2003-04
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1843760509
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781843760504
Product Description:
Innovation in the Pharmaceutical Industry traces the discovery and
development of drugs in Japan and the UK both historically and
sociologically. It includes sixteen case studies of major
pharmaceutical developments in the twentieth century, encompassing,
among others, beta-blockers, beta-stimulants, inhaled steroids and
histamine H2-antagonists.
The book illustrates that the four stages of drug development –
namely compound, application, organizational authorization and market –
are interactively shaped by heterogeneous actors and institutions. The
book also identifies three different types of pharmaceutical
development – paradigmatic innovation, application innovation and
modification-based innovation, all with distinguishable features in the
drug development process. Finally, several historical, structural and
cultural factors influencing the shaping of medicines are revealed by
the comparison between British and Japanese drug innovation.
Addressing a number of practical implications for the promotion of
the pharmaceutical industry, this book will be of enormous interest to
students, researchers and academics specializing in science and
technology, and the management of technology and innovation.
Practitioners, managers, and policy planners within the pharmaceutical
industry will also deem this book invaluable.
